Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion are core values at CIRES. Our lived commitment to these values shapes our work culture and is essential to how we practice excellence and integrity in environmental research. Our CIRES DEI Program advances this mission with three strategic imperatives: fostering an inclusive workplace culture, building capacity to successfully recruit and hire a diverse workforce, and creating authentic partnerships with those who are most impacted by our work as well as organizations that serve underrepresented and marginalized groups in environmental sciences. This year, the CIRES DEI Program has implemented new programming aligned with the strategic imperatives and has paired this programming with evaluation which focuses on how CIRES employees are engaging with inclusivity principles.
